Mrs. Novatnik has provided occupational therapy services in a broad spectrum of service settings. She has served patients who exhibited strokes, Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease, Arthritis, and Multiple Sclerosis. Her work included service for psychriatric patients displaying depression, schizophrenia, and organic brain syndromes. And she has provided therapy services for infants and children with developmental delays, learning disabilities, cerebral palsey, and mental retardation. Occupational therapy is a health and rehabilitation profession which provides services to individuals of all ages who have physical, developmental, emotional, and social deficits. Treatment is tailored to each individual's needs. The ultimate goal of occupational therapy is to assist the individual to become more independent within his or her capabilities. Mrs. Novatnik's duties for CDS will include building the agency's equipment and facility for occupational therapy ser­ vices as well as providing direct individual and group therapy to patients of all ages, at the CDS offices, in hospitals, in nursing homes, or private homes. Farmers discuss promotion of products More equitable funding of the promotion of dairy products is one of the main benefits of the current federal dairy program which includes a 15-cents per hundredweight assessment from all dairymen. That view, reflected by several speakers during the Dairy Nutrition Council annual meeting was one highlight of the industry gathering at the Marriott near O'Hare EidlL~ 1 Orion Samuelson, WGN faqn director, warned industry leaders they should intensify their promotional efforts with strong supporting evidence on the nutritional value of dairy products. Samuelson said "the 15-cent checkoff is the most positive aspect of the dairy bill. The dairy industry is outspent 55 to 1 by beer, soft drinks and coffee promoters. The dairy industry must get into the spiling business". Samuelson said some feared fractionalization of dairy promotion but so far he has not seen it. Some feared new promotional organizations springing up, but "not so far." He said the ADA, Dairy Nutrition Council and United are qualified to spearhead increased consumer contacts. He agreed nutrition "is tough to make exciting unless something negative is said, but if anyone can do it, my ex­ perience is that the nutritionists with the Dairy Nutrition Council are doing it. People are more nutrition-conscious. "One of the positive aspects of the quick diet talks is that it gives responsible people a chance to give correct in- _ formation, elaborate on it and g a i n a F t e i f t i o n . * * Observing some may have stopped believing in their product because of the growing market for non-dairy products and the continued attacks on dairy foods, Samuelson said. "The dairy industry has to be a team effort. We need to start working together." Dan Borschke, executive director of DNC, voiced support of the need for a united effort by t h e i n d u s t r y -- f a r m e r , wholesalers and retailers, m ' e r c h a n d i s e r s , a n d nutritionists. Bill Lenschow, Sycamore dairy farmer, was re-elected president of the Dairy Nutrition Council. He is an active board member of the national Associated Milk Producers organization.

DROP OFT STATION CUB recruits 10,000 members • Commenting on the new dairy bill, Jim Herbert, ADA of Illinois president * from Win­ nebago, said "This is the first time there has been an equitable base on which to promote dairy products. Everyone is paying a share." John Conner, DNC program implementation manager, talked about calcium, saying the key to promote milk may be to show the consumer the "miracle of calQUM." ~ •' Asserted Conner: "Nutrition education is essential." SEXUAL ABUSE The number of children reported to the Illinois Depart­ ment of Children and Family , Services last year as alleged sexual abuse victims increased at nearly triple the rate of children reported for all forms of child abuse. Agency Director Gordon Johnson said there were 4,062 reports of suspected sexual abuse of children in the fiscal year that ended June 30,1983, up 19.7 percent over the previous year. He estimated the department would receive reports on more than 5,000 children in the current fiscal year. Illinois' newest consumer advocacy organization, the Citizens Utility Board, (CUB) announced that it had recruited its first 10,000 members-just three weeks into its statewide membership solicitation drive. And, according to the group's interim president, CUB is well on the way toward meeting its goal of 100,000 members by year's end. "With the tremendous response we've gotten in the first three weeks alone," said Howard Learner, "CUB has taken a giant step. It's a sure sign that Illinois consumers see membership in CUB as an ef­ fective way of fighting back against rising utility rates." CUB kicked off its mem­ bership drive in late June, delivering to Illinois telephone companies 4.5 million brochures to be enclosed in the July bills of residential and small business phone customers. State law gives CUB unique authority to communicate with consumers with such enclosures in the bills of electric, gas, telephone, and TOURISM The Governor signed legislation recently to fund expanding McCormick Place, boosting statewide and local tourism, beginning a major renovation project for Illinois parks and conservation areas and to study the feasibility of holding a 1992 World's Fair. Other significant bills signed by the Governor this session: Nursing Home Reform, Workers' Comp changes, Nuclear Compact, Hazardous Waste cleanup, Carnival Rides i n s p e c t i o n s , F a r m l a n d Assessment, Hospital Cost Containment, Auto Emissions testing and Organ Transplants. water utility companies. CUB will begin a series of consumer messages on postcard bills in September. Learner added that CUB has met another important goal. "Under state law, CUB must recruit 10,000 members within three years, or it must go out of business. We met that goal in three weeks. CUB will be in business for a long time. We're getting stronger every day," Learner said. CUB members will vote for the permanent board of directors this December, with a director being elected in each of . Illinois' 22 Congressional: Districts. Only CUB members are eligible to run for the board, and , only members may vote. Ballots . will be cast by mail. CUB is currently run by an 11-. member interim board, ap­ pointed earlier this year by the • governor and state legislative, leaders. • Membership in CUB costs five . dollars per year, and those wishing to join should write to CUB at P.O.
